From ERP to TAXI

Yes alex. You started it. You started the road journey. Literally.Check this interesting fact out people; In a recent survey, Malaysian taxis has been called the worst in the world. Goodness, i didn't know that people all over the world unite, just to judge cabs. Worst in what? I don't know. But if i'm judging from a driver's point of view, even here in our country its not as good and possibly as horrible.
Here is my thesis: Safetywise? Still very much questionable.
For those who drive/ride, i am pretty sure you'd come across this experience. Imagine folllowing close (i don't tailgate though... yeah right!) behind a cab, whether its the 3rd, 2nd or 1st lane. A passenger flags down the cab, and there goes the brakes depressed with pure dignity - except that the taxi forgets the hold up he may cause on the road. Still excusable to me, as thats how taxi drivers earn their money.
But there was this one instance, on a road with 2 lanes (outside tampines mrt across the old sogo to be precise), my friend and i were driving, separate cars, side by side. And i was on the RIGHT EXTREME lane, with a C*** C** taxi in front of me. a passenger flags down for the cab in front of me. Before you know it, the taxi from my lane swerves left with a sudden brake, causing me and my friend beside me to jam break. Goodness. How dangerous is that! And he blocked the 2nd and part of the 1st lane. I mean come on uncle, getting $2.80++ over causing a possible accident? Not worth it i think.
I have not much complaints as a passenger, but PLLLEEENNNNTTTYYYY as a driver. Safety concerns people.
I'll have more to say soon, I hope.
Much love in the form of emblems, whatever that means.
